<p>I
use Google dozens of times every single day, and not just at work;
sometimes, though, finding the relevant bit buried in an article or web
page can slow down your quest for the information you crave. </p>
<p>Safari
and Firefox both include a Find function that’s invoked by pressing
Command-F. After landing on a page Google found for you, press
Command-F and again type the most important word from your Google
search. The web browser will immediately scroll to the word you
searched for, making skimming through irrelevant text a thing of the
past. </p>
<p>You can press Command-G to find the next instance of
your search word on that web page, and if you get overzealous using
this “find again” keyboard shortcut, you can press Shift-Command-G to
go to the previous instance. </p>
<p>I have to dig deep to
remember the time when I went to the local library to sift through a
card catalog in search of a pile of books that might contain the
information I needed. While I can’t remember the first thing I searched
for on the internet, I do remember that my first web search happened
after a morning hockey practice in my middle school advisor’s office
sometime around 1996 or 1997. While I can picture the wallpaper in the
room, I can’t remember which search engine I used.</p>
<p>What was the first thing you searched for? I’d love to publish
a few of your experiences in a future Tech Tails!</p>
